What is an Official Sister Cities Delegation?

Official Delegations, led by the mayor whenever possible, have given business leaders, educators, and city officials the opportunity to connect with their counterparts in the other city, leading to mutually beneficial projects. ​

﻿Person to person interactions of individuals; mayor to mayor, entrepreneur to entrepreneur, businessman to businessman, artist to artist, educator to educator, student to student; are critical to citizen diplomacy.

The resulting relationships, based in trust and mutual respect, often lead to relationships, both professional and personal, that last a lifetime.
